9	!!Features examples of:
10	* AdaptedOut: Although Orbot and Cubot have Boom counterparts of their own, Game Eggman commented that he scrapped his own helper bots for being annoying and is surprised to see them on the show.
11	* BecomeARealBoy: After the FreakyFridayFlip, Metal Sonic desires an organic body of his own. [[spoiler: The thing [[HumanityEnsues grants his wish]] during "New Year's Retribution]]
12	* BerserkButton: It doesn't take long for both Knuckles and Eggman to be annoyed by their counterparts respective DumbMuscle and StupidEvil traits.
13	* BigEater: Aside from Eggman's complaint about his counterpart wasting breakfast food in "Hedgehog Day", [[spoiler: Metal Sonic develops a deep interest in food upon switching bodies with Sonic upon them watching "The Meteor"]].
14	* ClingyJealousGirl: Upon seeing Sticks the Badger for the first time, Amy can't help but get suspicious of her being close to Boom Sonic, especially upon watching "My Fair Sticksy".
15	* DeadpanSnarker: Many of the watchers get in on this, especially Knuckles in the chapter covering "Dude, Where's My Eggman?" regarding the flashback scene from his counterpart's perspective.
16	* DidntThinkThisThrough: After getting in an argument with Metal Sonic, Eggman removes his directive to destroy Sonic to prove he can do so on his own. He quickly realizes that he just deprived himself of one of his greatest assets.
17	* EldritchAbomination: The "thing" hosting the marathon.
18	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Evil though he may be, Eggman could not help but sympathize with Boom Tails missing the pie festival in "How to Succeed in Evil Without Really Trying" and was just as freaked as everyone else at seeing Sticks pull out Boom Knuckles' tooth with rope.
19	* EveryoneHasStandards: Upon seeing Sticks pull out Boom Knuckles' tooth in "Hedgehog Day", Shadow could not help but comment that even he wouldn't be that violent.
20	* ExactWords: When he learns how much pain hurts, Metal vows to never inflict it again. He soon clarifies that he can still kill people painlessly.
21	* FanDisservice: Eggman gets transported to Tails' house in just his boxers. Rouge eventually (and thankfully) gets him an oversized shirt to cover up with. Also, everyone is appalled by the events of "Eggheads."
22	* FirstTimeFeeling: During the FreakyFridayFlip, Metal ends up in Sonic's body, allowing him to feel things like pain, taste, and laughter.
23	* FlatWhat: The first thing that came out of Knuckles' mouth upon watching his counterpart go "Super Saiyan" in "Dude, Where's My Eggman?" with everyone else thinking the same thing then and later in "Unlucky Knuckles" about the luck balance of the universe.
24	* FreakyFridayFlip: The thing swaps Rouge with Eggman, Tails with Knuckles, Amy with Shadow, and Sonic with Metal. See GrandTheftMe below for more.
25	* TheGadfly: Metal certainly has his moments.
26	* GirlsHaveCooties: Tails can't help but feel this way as he and the others watch "Tails' Crush", despite Amy's insistence that he'd make a great boyfriend.
27	* GrandTheftMe: As punishment for Rouge breaking into the watch party for "Unlucky Knuckles", [[spoiler: the "thing" swaps everyone's bodies until they wrapped up "The Meteor"]].
28	* GroundhogDayLoop: After airing "Hedgehog Day," the thing traps Shadow in a time loop. Eggman correctly deduces that, to escape, Shadow has to rewatch the episode while re-enacting everything he said and did during it. It takes him dozens of attempts but it works.
29	* InsistentTerminology: Upon hearing Eggman's reasoning for calling even Tails a rodent, Metal Sonic decides to refer to him as a rodent as well.
30	* InternalReveal: By watching the show, Boom Knuckles learns what really happened in "New Year's Retribution."
31	* LampshadeHanging: The gang spend much of the show pointing out all the ridiculousness in it.
32	* LateCharacterSyndrome: Aside from the main six, Metal Sonic, Rouge the Bat, and Silver the Hedgehog join them in watching the series as well.
33	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Because they're not aware of the fourth wall themselves, the gang gets confused whenever the Boom! characters [[BreakingTheFourthWall break]] or [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall lean]] on it.
34	* ManIFeelLikeAWoman: [[DefiedTrope Defied.]] During the FreakyFridayFlip, Rouge orders Eggman to sit perfectly still to avoid this trope.
35	* MusclesAreMeaningless: Game Knuckles easily beats Boom Knuckles in arm-wrestling twice in a row.
36	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After learning what pain feels like, Metal becomes furious that Eggman has been having him inflict it on others.
37	* NotSoAboveItAll: As soon as they witness coconut hurl in "Cowbot", Knuckles shortly agrees with Sonic to play that game themselves so long as he's the thrower.
38	* OneSteveLimit: [[InvokedTrope Invoked.]] To avoid confusion, the two Knuckles have an arm-wrestling contest, with the loser (Boom Knuckles) taking on a nickname.
39	* RunningGag: Evil ham and the luck balance of the universe are just two examples.
40	* ShipperOnDeck: Amy doesn't resist shipping her and Sonic's Boom counterparts as well as Boom Tails with Zooey.
41	* SleepDeprivation: Shadow had pulled an all-nighter doing paperwork before the thing forced everyone to watch the show. It does no favors for his mood.
42	* SpecialGuest: [[spoiler: The "thing" abducts Boom Knuckles, who Game Knuckles nicknames as "Mittens", to join the watch party for a brief amount of time. It later does the same thing with Silver.]].
43	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: During a spice-eating contest, Sonic attempts to cool his mouth with water. He learns the hard way that this just makes the pain ''worse.''
